The Series I'd Like to Recommend You

 
 
Do you feel bored these days, just lazing around your bed? Do you want to improve your English conversation skills? Here is a good suggestion, watching English series! If you watch them without any subtitles or with English subtitles several times, then not only will you be able to enjoy the story, but also your English skill will noticeably increase. Here are several famous and fun series’ I would like to recommend. Choose one and enjoy them during this vacation!



1.    Modern family.



 

This series is really famous for learning English in Korea. There are 7 seasons and each season has 24 episodes. It has lots of stories about routines of modern families in the USA. If you have not watched any of the episodes yet, I recommend you try it. There are many general phrases used in daily life and the stories are easy to understand, since they use less difficult vocabulary than other American TV shows. And of course, it is funny!


 

2.    Skins.




This is about teenagers in England and the atmosphere in these series is very depressing and dark. There are seven seasons and each of them has about 10 episodes. The characters in this series vary. Some of them are very naughty while others are thoughtful. They find their own ways to deal with many problems. The scenes have been taken in Bristol and this city has a unique English accent and a lot of green parks. If you don’t like listening to swearing, be careful! There is a lot of slang and swearing. However, it will also be a good opportunity to learn that sort of language if you want.

 

 

 

3.    Sherlock.


 


Do you want to listen to and learn the British English accent? If so, this series will be the most suitable for you. There are 3 seasons, which has 4 episodes respectively. I am sure that everyone knows about Sherlock Homes. These are remakes of that story, made more modern. Lots of audiences say that the main character is very attractive, mentioning he is sensitive but so smart that he can solve every difficult problem. And also, the main actor is Benedict Cumberbatch, who is really famous in Korea for his acting skills. Many people fall love with him after watching this series.

 

 

4.    Lucky Louie.


 


Do you know Luis CK? He is a really famous comedian in the USA, and he is the main actor in this drama. There are 13 episodes. This shows the life of Louie, who earns little money; Louie's wife, Kim, a nurse and the family breadwinner; and their four-year-old daughter, Lucy. As you guess, this show is very funny since the main character is a comedian. The show was recorded in front of live audience, so you can hear audiences laughing or heckling.

5.    Big Bang Theory.


 


Are you interested in science or space? Then choose these series! This show is about four nerd guys. Their major is science, and all things they are talking about are related to science even though they have less relevance. They share an apartment together with a beautiful woman who has good social skills. A big part of the humor is the contrast between the geekiness and enormous knowledge of the four men, with the woman’s ignorance of science. It consists of 9 seasons, and the latest season is still broadcasting now.

So, did you find a suitable series for you? I hope that you will find them and enjoy your vacation with them, improving your English skills.
